I finished chemo this past summer for breast cancer. I had four Adriamycin-Cytoxin (AC) chemo treatments followed by four Taxol treatments. I didn't "discover" essential oils until I was almost finished with chemo, for my last treatment of Taxol. Side effects of Taxol are neuropathy, muscle aches, and joint pain (like a REAL bad case of the flu). For my last treatment, I put frankincense oil on the soles of my feet the day before chemo, the morning of chemo and for four or five days after chemo. I had NO side effects from that Taxol treatment. In fact, I saw a nutritionist for the first time two days after chemo and she couldn't believe I was feeling so good! At any rate, I share this in case it would help anyone else. If it does, I would also appreciate knowing.

My mom has had a very good experience using Young Living essential oils, lymphatic massage, and some other natural supplements rather than resorting to biopsies for lumps in her breasts. Here is her report on what she has been doing - Molly

---------- Forwarded Message ----------
I had some really good news today that I want to share in case you can use the information in the future for you or your loved ones. A month ago I had a mammogram that indicated calcium deposits with jagged edges. The radiologist really pushed me into talking to a surgeon about a biopsy because the jagged edges are supposed to indicate a malignancy. I had no idea of what butchery a biopsy entails until I had that meeting with the surgeon. I said "NO WAY". As you know, I do the Young Living Essential Oils so I did my research on the ones for cancer and started taking a capsule of frankincense and ledum every day. For 4 days I also applied 16 drops of frankincense, 10 drops of lavender and 3 drops of clove and then rested for 4 days before I did it all over again. I also diffused Frankincense and Brain Power for 15 minutes at a time and rubbed Frankincense over the three middle toes on each foot as the Young Living Essential Oils Book indicates.

My chiropractor started me on 18 barley pills a day for my Ph level plus liquid minerals under my tongue every morning and enzymes before each meal. The biggest change to my body was when I started lymphatic massages once a week under an infra-red light with the use of just the infra-red light for another hour each week also. I highly recommend lymphatic massage for everyone, men also. You can't imagine the change to your body.

More research turned up a blood test done by only one lab in the country, Oncolab, in Boston. The blood test is AMAS which reveals the body's manufacture of antibodies for cancer 19 months before they are found through a biopsy. I called the lab. They sent a styrofoam container and a special tube for drawing the blood with all the instructions for the lab. After the blood was drawn I sent it overnight by FedEx in dry ice to Boston. I met with my doctor today to go over the results. I have no antibodies for cancer. Imagine what it would be like to go through the butchery of a biopsy to find out there was no cancer when there is such a blood test! The interesting thing was that I have not been upset nor concerned. I had made up my mind that if I did have cancer I would not go through radiation nor chemo. Cancer caused from calcium deposits stays contained and would probably take 10 years to kill so there was no need to get excited. I want quality of life and I have seen enough of radiation and chemo to know that that is not quality of life.

In my case, I am convinced this was a matter of money for the hospital and radiologist and surgeon. I feel that way because of the extreme pressure that was put on me to do the biopsy. The surgeon even offered to come in on a Saturday to do it. Now my mission is to try to help spread the word about alternatives to biopsies. The Health Sciences Institute has literature stating that there are also 3 products that are natural that are curing cancer -

ImmPower (AHCC) made by Harmony Co. in North Vale, N.J.
Immunoguard (lactoferrin) made by GoldShield Healthcare Direct in West Palm Beach
Graviola and N-Tense made by Raintree Nutrition in Carson City, Nevada.

I plan to keep doing my oils and massages for the next 6 months and do another blood test. I am very fortunate to have my internist going along with my plans and wanting to become informed on what I am doing as well as my trusted chiropractor and massage therapist.

I have been using Essential Oils since my daughter gave me a small kit for Mother's Day two and a half years ago. I have more confidence in them than any medicine or pain pill I have ever used.

Breast Cancer Prevention

Dear Young Living Friends,
The following is a transcription of a portion of a conference call which I recorded a couple of weeks ago for Young Living... I was talking about how we can share the oils, within the network marketing model, with integrity and without hype, and why this model may actually be beneficial to mankind, in the long run... I think that this information on the possible prevention of breast cancer is SO IMPORTANT for us to share with others... Thanks for taking a few moments to read it.
Sincerely, Vicki

You know, I told you that when I joined Young Living I was not only skeptical about network marketing, I was also critical of it. Today, I believe that network marketing offers us an opportunity unlike any that has been available in the history of mankind. And I have a story to tell you that will explain why I believe this to be true.

Several weeks ago, I had an opportunity to speak with a woman in Iowa who is a chiropractor. Dr. Peters told me that she had been concerned because of a family history of breast cancer. She had gotten a mammogram, but felt, like I did, that mammograms may actually damage breast tissue. So she found a doctor in California who offered thermal imaging of breasts, and flew to CA to have this done. Unfortunately, the doctor found a number of "hot spots" and told her that he would want to re-examine her in 4 months. So she went back to IA and, within a few days, Gary Young was there, speaking about the oils. Gary presented research by Dr. Jamie Matta, which had also been present at the annual Young Living convention, describing the combination of frankincense oil with other oils such as sandalwood, tsuga, and myrtle, which were documented as oils that may prevent cancer.

Dr. Peters bought these 4 oils. Each day, morning and evening, she would put a few drops of the frankincense in her hand, and add one of the other three oils, and then apply this to her breasts. She used the frankincense every day, and alternated in the other oils. In four months, when she went back to California for her check up, the doctor did not find any significant hot spots in her breasts. The doctor was amazed and wanted to know how this had happened. I was asked to give him an introductory lecture by phone so that he would understand why this might have happened.

The doctor decided to do a small research study with 30 women to see whether he can duplicate these results in other patients, and told me that if he did, he would like to do a large study with 300 women.

Isn't that exciting? Well, there's something even more exciting to me! While I am absolutely thrilled that the doctor will be validating the effects of the oils, I can begin to share this story with people today, and person to person, we can get this vital information out to as many people as possible - think of it!!! What if we could even prevent 10% of the breast cancer cases that occur? Wouldn't that be wonderful? That would make everything that we do worthwhile, in my opinion!!! Now, THAT is the power of NETWORK MARKETING!!!

Subject: Addendum - Breast Cancer Prevention

Dear Young Living Friend,
After sending out the email about Dr. Peters, she was kind enough to write, and offer the following addendum...

Additionally, I wanted to share with all of you that a couple of years ago my assistant, Mary Lou Bauer, and I both had breast fibroids that could be very painful. Someone in our Young Living group shared with us that she had been using frankincense with lavender on her breasts, and the fibroids disappeared... We both did the same protocol - about 4 - 5 drops of frankincense in one hand, add about the same amount of lavender, and then rub over the breasts once a day - and the fibroids totally went away for both of us!!! These oils are so amazing!!!
Love, Vicki

Dear Vicki~
Happy Holidays!
So nice to see you use this story.......actually, it's 'better' than you've described herein insofar as I actually had 3 thermograms, each about 6 months apart, with no changes until using the oils for one month only, prior to my 4th thermogram!

So, you see, I had the 'hot spot' and high degree of vascularity (indicative of high estrogen levels which, as we now know, can predispose to breast cancer) for 1 1/2 years of thermogram evaluation and, after only one month of using the oils I had remarkable changes......vascularity and 'hot spot' nearly gone!!

Feel free to use this response as an addendum to your email. And, THANK-YOU for all you are and all you do to help others with information about our marvelous products!!
Warm Regards~Dr. Peters

Therapeutic grade oils from Young Living are different from any sold in stores. They are far more intense with higher healing properties than the ones we purchase in candles, soaps, etc. In this case, quality does cost more. They are also higher potency than any others I have found world wide.

The Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils are the only ones my family, friends and clients have obtained results with such as found in these true healing stories.
